The ribs i9, by engagement with the oppositeedges of the strips 1G serve to prevent unintentional displacement ofthe wedges relatively to said strips in direct-ions transverse to thelength thereof.

The invention siinple in construction and eiiicient in operation andell'ectirely overconies an object-ion heretofore inherent in carboypackages of the indicated type.

Various changes in the specific forni shown and described inay be inadewit-hin the scope of the claiins without departing froin the spirit ofiny invention.

l. claiin:

1. In a carboy package, the coinbination of areceptacle, a plurality ofupright strips arranged within said receptacle and con structed andarranged to extend lengthwise of a carboy, a plurality of wedges eachinovably located between a strip and a contiguous portion ot' thereceptacle for independently forcing;` the upper ends of said stripsinwardly whereby the carboy is clainped botweeii the strips, and.cooperatiniineans on said strips and wedges whereby uniiitentionaldisplacement of the latter relatively to said strips and container isarrested.

2. ln a carboy package, the combination of a receptacle, a plurality offleiiible upright strips arranged within said receptacle and constructedand arranged to extend length wise of the carboy and upwardly beyond thebody thereof, a plurality of wedges yeach located between the upper endof a strip and a contigiuous portion of the receptacle and movablelengthwise of said strip for independent-ly forcing' the upper ends ofsaid strips inwardly whereby the earboy is claniped between the strips,and coope-:ating;` nicans on said strips and wedges whereby the extentof the downward niovenient of the wedges relatively to said strips ispifedeter inined and further relative downward inovenient is arrested atpredetermined points above the body of the rifarboy.

3. In a carboy package, the combination of a receptacle, a plurality offlexible upright strips located within said receptacle Lelie andconstructed and arranged to extend lengthwise of a carboy, a pluralityof wedges each located between the upper end of the strip and acontiguous portion of the receptacle and niovable lengthwise of saidStrip for independently forcingthe upper ends 0f said strips inwardlywhereby the carboy is claniped between the strips, and nieans on saidwed ges whereby unintentional displace* nient thereof relatively to saidstrips in transverse directions is prevented without interference withthe lengthwise movement ol said wedges. i

1. ln a earboy package,` the combination of a receptacle, a plurality ofupright strips located within the saine and constructed and arranged toextend lengthwise of a earboy, said strips being` of reduced width atthi-ir uppeiI end portions, shoulders on said strips at the junction ofthe reduced portions with the wider portions thereof, a plurality ofwedges for iiulependently forcing the upper ends of the strips inwardlywhereby the carboy is clainped between said strips and inea ns on saidwedges eo-operating with said shoulders to arrest an unintentionaldroppinp of the wedges lengthwise of the strips.

5. In a carboy package7 the combination of a receptacle7 a plurality ofupright strips located within the same and constructed and arranged toextend lengthwise of a carboy, said strips being of reduced width attheir upper end portions and flaring outwardly in downward directions toforni sloping shoulders a plurality of wedges for independently forcing'the upper ends of said strips inwardly whereby said carboy is clampedbetween the strips and ribs extendingr lengthwise of the wedges in pairsand fitted upon the reduc-ed end portions of said strips, said ribsbeing arranged to eo-operate with said sloping.,i shoulilers to arrestunintentional downward movements of said wedges relatively to saidstrips.

(i. ln a carboy package, the combination of a receptacle, a plurality ofupright strips located within the saine and constructed and arranged toextend lengthwise of a carboy, a plurality of wedges each locatedbetween the upper end of a strip and a contiguous portion of thereceptacle for independently forcing' the upper ends inwardly to clampthe carboy in said receptacle, and ribs ex tendine' lengthwise of saidwedges in pairs and overlapping opposite edge surfaces of said strips toprevent lateral displacenient of each wedge relatively to its strip.
